Get it done? fwiw I would hate paying anyone 12 franking Mill with this cap era. Let alone the 11 Dahlin is getting for not even being a ppg player.

Think Tage forgets he has linemates sometimes, he tries to do to much at times.

Pretty strong offer. Funny thing is it would only put a scratch in our Prospect pool.

When Tage and Skinner go all Me during games it's not a good thing. Even last year they both where dishing the puck. Hell Skinner almost had 50 assists. When they forgot about everyone else that Line goes to Sh!t.

We need to move Tage off center. He’s not a center. Meatball can stop patting himself on the back for this

I have my ideas, bit have heard this a couple times now from you and a couple others...
So what is he not doing, or is incorrectly doing that leads you to the conclusion he is not a "Center" ?

Yeah, for sure. Although I think a new sound system is part of the upgrade, just not mentioned in the letter if I’m not mistaken.

The new roof is going to be costly , with zero upgrade in fan experience

It's a maintenance item and should be included in any sort of financial planning. I. Mean, every organization in the world has some sort of maintenance budget to be planned for.
Big deal.

Why would you not give Rosen a call-up with the injury to Skinner. What the F@ck does Jost bring. He is not a part of the future.

Will you feel better if Olofsson dresses and Jost sits?

Money well spent.

This is a good question. Kid just broke through the slump the other night too. He'd been generating chances without scoring (story of our lives) but had a nice PP goal against...Hershey I think??? It all blends in nowadays, but crashed the net and fired home a rebound top cheddar.

Did you hear they're getting new soap dispensers too?

Oh crap, I forgot to ask if you were sitting down first. Hopefully this shocking news didn't cause any long term damage.

Ahhh, he did nothing in what 7 games a couple months ago. Just let him season and grow in the minors.

I'd rather see Kulich anyways.

Don't care what he did a couple months ago, this could help give him things he needs to work on in Rochester and the Offseason for Camp. And Kulich has been hurt.

Yes, for sure.

Point is, Sabres playing it off as some great big suprise we should all be astounded

Yeah, here's what I think. While it's unlikely any of us has a clue about what's inside Darcy's head, and things like the salary cap, NTCs/NMCs, and the declining economy's impact on future revenues make it nearly impossible to trade anyone of any significance, it's not inconceivable that the Sabres could make a mid-season move.

Vanek, Roy, Miller, Pommer are probably not on the block since they represent the young core of this team and are all locked up long-term. We all know Vanek's contract is insane, but given the length and amount of the others, it seems unlikely to me there's a better deal out there. Remember Larry Quinn is a numbers guy, and 5 mil 6 years from now will be looking pretty good. Roy's deal is an especially favorable one for the club. You might even be able to throw Goose into this category b/c his value to the Sabres is high given his hustle and toughness.

Max, Kotalik, and Connolly are popular choices for a change of venue, but their UFA status would mean they'd need to go to a contender for the receiving team to be willing to assume the risk. That said, what's the likelihood of a contender sending the Sabres something worthy of a blockbuster? That's not even taking into account Max sucking for the last 2 years, Kotalik getting a reputation of being lazy, and (Tin) Connolly being more fragile than the leg lamp in A Christmas Story. This, coming from the guy who actually owns a Connolly jersey.

As far as young talent at forward goes, Stafford, MacArthur, Paille are the only roster players in that category. They're all tradable, but not enough to bring in an impact player. To me, the Sabres would need to include one of Mancari, Gerbe, or Kennedy to get another team interested. Possible, though Gerbe seems like he's got a future here.

Lastly, if they're really trying to fix the recent injury problem at defense, they're not going to trade any defensemen. Even still, it's more likely they'll do what they did last year and bring in a veteran like Nolan Pratt to temporarily fill the gap until Weber and Sekera are healthy again (a few weeks?). I haven't looked to see who like that is available, but they found someone last year and could probably do it again.

We Sabres fans have gotten used to the fact that Darcy rarely makes any moves. In fact, who really does anymore? I'd love to be wrong, but not at the expense of 26 / 9 / 30 / 29. You can have Peters. Twice.

So what is he not doing, or is incorrectly doing that leads you to the conclusion he is not a "Center" ?

- IonSabres

He can’t win face offs
He is a perimeter player
He gravitates toward the wings
If we had a real center on his line, he would be more successful

Wow!
Are they installing paper towels dispensers or forced air?
I know they won't do both.

Yeah, may just be rumors, but after he smacked that girl at the club, I've been told Kim went off. She already didn't like him, as he had hit on Jessica at some point, but after that she demanded he be traded post haste.
